Jill DeWit:                            I'm curious, this is gonna be good. This is one of those shows where we didn't talk about it, I wrote down three things I'm like hm, what do I need, I took it as what do I need to be a strong business owner and have a thriving business.

Steven Butala:                   If I was a, let's say I'm a person who's done 25, I'm a Land Academy member who's bought and sold 25 properties, I've done everything myself, accumulated a bunch of dough, a lot of people are in this situation in our group. I'm about to take on a personal helper or assistant, and there's like posting things that I need to outsource stuff and I'm just at that point where I realize it's successful, being I'm thinking about quitting my job I need to struggle for some of these things, just test it out. What're the three things, that you have to do? That's really what this show is about, this episode, as a business owner to make sure it's all successful the first time around.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into the topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land, I've said this sentence almost 1000 times, and I still can't say it right.

Jill DeWit:                            What is that? Why is that? You never follow the script, it's always different, you get tongue tied, I don't understand, do we need to change something?

Steven Butala:                   If it was just like, the whole show is just one word, that would be about my level. Like, thanks. That's the whole show. Let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community, it's free.

Jill DeWit:                            John asks, "Hi, guys. How did you get from the purchase and sale of your first property to where you are now?" I love it. Now, I'm gonna say, I personally answered this last Wednesday, I think it was my last, yeah, so today's Tuesday, so my last Facebook live show last week on Wednesday. My show number 12, so if you haven't watched it, actually it was one of the best ones, by far, of all that I've done, so sir, why, what?

Steven Butala:                   Can you pat yourself on the back? Can you reach around and pat yourself on the back?

Jill DeWit:                            I think I just did.

Steven Butala:                   Well the last show I did is by far the best one.

Jill DeWit:                            This one not so much.

Jill DeWit:                            Stop, thanks a lot. Correct me if I'm wrong, that was the best show, it was the longest show because we had the best questions and it was like the most fun topic, I think. I was having a ball. Anyway, if you've not checked it out, check out that show, I answer this question. So, Steven, would you please enlighten us and show us your answer?
